Beef Brisket in Gravy Recipe

This tender roast has remained our very favorite family main dish over many years. Often, I make it ahead and reheat the beef in the gravy. It's delicious served with hot cooked noodles or mashed potatoes.

"Best brisket ever! So easy and delish! Hubby loves it and the gravy with mashed potatoes. Made this countless number of times. I add a pinch of salt to the meat after browning and the taste come out perfect and I extend the cooking time to half an hour extra making it 3 hours so it will be more tender."

"Fixed today and left it to cook while I went to church. I had a 4.5 lb brisket so I doubled the gravy (used 2 c. water/ 2 env. onion soup mix). Added 2 sliced onions and 1 lg jar mushrooms. When I arrived home, I ended up adding 2 cups of beef broth as most of the juice had evaporated, even though it was covered, but it worked out fine. It was absolutely delicious. Mashed potatoes and your choice of vegetables...great Sunday dinner."
